Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 I  was thinkin'  of a series  of dreams
 Where  nothing  comes up to the  top
 Everything  stays down where it's wounded
 And  comes to a permanent stop
 Wasn't  thinking of anything specific
 Like  in a dream when someone wakes up and screams
 Nothing  too very scientific
 Just  thinkin' of a series  of dreams
 Thinkin' of a series of dreams
 Where the time and the tempo drag (fly)*
 And there's no exit in any direction
 Except the one that you can't see with your eyes
 Wasn't makin' and great connection
 Wasn't fallin' for any intricate scheme
 Nothing that would pass inspection
 I's just thinkin' of a series of dreams
 Dreams  where the  umbrella is folded
 And  into  the path you are hurled
 And  the cards  are no good that you're  holdin'
 Unless  they're from another world
 In one, the surface was frozen
 In another, I witnessed a crime
 In one, I was running, and in another
 All I seemed to be doing was climb
 Wasn't lookin' for any special assistance
 Not going through any great extremes
 I'd already gone the distance
 Just thinkin' of a series of dreams
 
 I'd  already gone the distance
 Just  thinkin' of a series  of dreams
 Just  thinkin' of  a series of dreams
 Just  thinkin' of  a series of dreams
 NOTE: I saw one version of lyrics that had "fly" instead of "drag". Fly
 would make it rhyme, but Dylan obviously says drag.
 FROM: The Bootleg Series 1-3, this song recorded 1989.
